Just received this remaster of a 1959 lp originally on the Edison label. The singer is Claudia Thompson, a virtual unknown to this day. This was the only record she ever made and what a shame because her voice is superb. I can't really describe who she sounds like but with this one album, it's clear she's a fully formed musician and singer. There is literally no information about her on the web so don't bother googling her. I suspect this is the case with many talented female singers from the 50's who recorded one or two albums and were never heard from again, despite their considerable talent.She sings a dozen songs here and has wonderful backing by Barney Kessel, Benny Carter, Paul Smith and others. Her voice is beautifully wrought in this recording, and I never cease to be surprised by how good these old recordings were. With the subtle instrumentation, it reminds me a bit of the Julie London records of that era.
The lp is an orange-gold and transparent so you may get a bit dizzy staring at the lp as some grooves seem to be moving counter-clockwise. The lp is well pressed ( I can't tell from where), flat, centered and almost completely silent.
Sundazed, I believe created this new label "Modern Harmonic" as I've never heard of it. This one is a winner in my book.
